Hi there guys and gals.
Some of you possibly know that dabble in art as a hobby and draw watches occasionally. I sometimes do fundraider Sales of pieces on here.
I just thought that I would share some wonderful horology art from my best art friend. :)
She is an award winning artist based in Michigan over in the USA, and had decided to draw a watch in between doing other projects. I thought that it would be fun to show the pics here where I think that they would be appreciated.
The piece isn't completed yet, but it is coming along nicely. She reckon that it is about 60 percent done at this present time.
It's getting 'tighter' as it progresses, and no doubt will be much tighter on completion. I have no idea when the estimated finish date is for the piece, but it will probably be next year (early) at some point due to her Christmas orders etc. :)
When it has further updates / is completed, I will add more pictures. It is simply just a great thing that she started drawing this without telling me... knowing my interest in watches, and she doesn't really know anything about them... and ironically chose THIS beauty (a stock free photo) WITHOUT even consulting me on what is a nice time piece. Great choice! :)
I have shown progress pieces as a point of interest as Michelle works in layers. You will notice that the earlier drafts look rougher to the eye.. and that it is get more polished and crisp as time progresses. :) This piece is large... 30 x 20 inches. On board. And is drawn in blendable pencil crayons where colours can be manipulated and mixed, in a similar way that paints are. :)

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the wonderful art of Michelle S. Martin. :)
Michigan is a very artsy area and Michelle has won multiple First Place Prizes at their BIG show called "Artwalk" which is held annually at Grand Haven in Michigan. She first won a First Place there in the public voting category two years ago, finished Runner Up last year... and then this year swept the board to win BOTH the public AND the art judges award also for her entered work, raising her stock there even more.
Her Work In Progress: Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller (in stages). :)
Thanks for looking. :)

Amazing work, please let us see the finished product mate.
I will do mate. :)Originally Posted by alexaff
Can I get one straight away or do I have to go on a list?
Hi mate.
It's not a Sales Post, just a posting up to appreciate her work. :)
I have no idea where Michelle is going to go with this one, in future, when completed.
If she did decide to do prints / sell the original, then I'd come back here for sure, with a view to any sales helping to boost the fundraiser.
But right now... it's just a fun share in appreciation of her talents. :)
Greg.
Impressive work. Thanks for showing.

That looks really classy and all the better by seeing its genesis from broad strokes to semi finished article. Thanks for sharing

Great to see artists at work. It looks superb.
Stunning! What a talent. As others have requested, please post pictures of the finished piece.
Usually lm gravely disappointed by art threads on enthusiast forums...
...but not in this case. Really nice.
I love that it's so proportionally accurate but remains obviously a piece of art as opposed to an attempt at photographic accuracy.
Wow they look great....well done.
That is fantastic work, really appreciate seeing the stages.
